Question 10

Ischemic Heart Disease

Answer 10

blockage of blood flow to the heart causing lack of blood flow to heart muscle which can then lead to dead tissue

Question 11

Cerebrovascular disease

Answer 11

conditions that could lead to stroke

Answer 12

May develop abnormal blood circulations in legs or arms

Question 13

Question 18
